Core Tip	This review article highlights the importance of preventive measures, early and accurate detection using imaging, histopathological markers, multidisciplinary approaches to treatment using surgery, systemic chemotherapy, immunotherapy and radiotherapy. Recent novel developments in systemic treatment have expanded the therapy armamentarium and more work needs to be done in order to frame tailored therapies for this aggressive tumor presenting in late stages and associated with poor prognosis due to limited treatment options. It is also essential to translate these evolving treatment options into increased overall survival along with improved quality of life.
